T 60% whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY SO MIDT and VICTOR ISKIYAN, residing atOollegepoint, in the county of Queens and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools, ofwhich the following is a specification. I

Our invention has reference to combinationtools, especially adapted foruse by bicyclists, chaffeurs, and machinists, and has for its objects toprovide in one simple and effective combination a wrench for square,hexagonal, and other nuts, means for cutting and coiling wire, a plier,a knife and screw-driver, a tirecleaner, and a spoke-wrench, all suchparts being arranged in a light and compact form, so as to beconveniently carried in the pocket, while at the same time the tool isstrongly built and can be readily handled.

Tothis end our invention consists, essentially, in acombination-toolcomprisingahandle having a longitudinal passage-way andprovided with a stepped end, a slide provided at one end with a jawhaving the faces adjacent to the ends of the handle matching said end onthe handle for the purpose of forming at one end of the toolwrench-sockets and at the other end with a jaw provided with apliersurface and a shear-surface, and a plier-lever pivoted to thehandle and cooperating with the latter surfaces for the severance ofwire and the holding of material.

Our invention consists inother novel features of construction, ashereinafter more fully pointed out in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 represents a side elevation of acombination-tool embodying our invention, part of the handle beingbroken away. Fig. 2 is a similar view taken from the opposite side ofFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a handle. Fig. 4 is a sideelevation of a slide. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5 5,Fig. 1'. Fig. 6 is similar section on the line 6 6, Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is aside view of the knife and screw-driver blade.

Similar letters and numerals of reference designate corresponding partsthoughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the letter A des- Serial No. 118,546. (Nomodel.)

One end of the handle A is provided with a projection (0, having one ofits surfaces, 2, at right angles to the end of the handle, while itsopposite surface, 3, extends obliquely or is inclined to the end of thehandle, thus providing the handle with a stepped end. At thecorresponding end the slide B is provided with a jaw 0, having similarsurfaces& and 5, as best seen in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the parts describedforming sockets d and cZ, adapted, respectively, for square andhexagonal nuts of any size within the limits of the wrench. The otherend of the handle is provided with longitudinal extensions 6 for theguidance of a jaw 0, having thereon a plier-surface 7, pro' vided with alongitudinal groove 8 and with a transverse groove 9. To the handle A ispivoted at 10 a plier-lever D, provided with a plier-surfaoe 11,extending in the direction of the length of the surface 7 and having atransverse groove 12, matching the transverse groove in said surface.When the slide B is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the jaw 0,in combination with the plier-lever D, is retained in its normalposition by having its free end provided with a nib adapted to engagewith a shallow socket 14 formed in the handle A. On the handle is alsoformed, preferably at the end adjacent to the jaw c, a wirecoiling prong15. This may be formed by recessing the handle, as shown in Figs. 1, 2,and 3, and then rounding up the projecting parts. In practice, as shownin Fig. l, we make the slide B in two parts suitably joined for thepurpose of enabling its insertion into the handle, although the handlemay be made in two plagts and joined after the insertion of a solid s 1e. v

We also provide a reversible blade E, comprising a knife-blade 16 and ascrew-driver blade 17 adapted to be removably attached to the projection6 of the handle A in any suitable rnanner as, for instance, by means ofthe clamping-screw 18 entering said projectionand said projection beingslotted longitudinally for firmlyholding the blade in either position.

We furthermore provide the handle A at or near the end adjacent to thejaw c with pins 20 and 21, and the said jaws are also provided withsimilar pins 22 and 23, arranged opposite to the pins aforesaid for thepurpose of forming spanners for the setting of cones in bicycles. Thesepins may be formed by round and square headed screws, as shown in thedrawings. For a like purpose we provide the plier with a hooked end 24:,adapted to engage with the recesses or notches in the cone.

The knifeblade 16 is also preferably provided either on its back or sidewith a file 25. In the handle A we also form a substantiallysemicircular depression 30, adapted for the purpose of cleaning tires byplacing the same against the tire and turning the wheel. We also form inthe slideB a circular depression 81, which, in connection with the jaw cand the handle A, forms a wrench for halfround nuts.

What we claim as new is l. A combinationtool comprising a handle havinga longitudinal passage-way and provided with a stepped end, and a slideprovided with jaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle forthe purpose of forming different wrench-sockets on opposite sides, andthe other jaw being provided with a plier-surface, and a plier-leverpivoted to the handle and cooperating with the plier-surface for theholding of metal, substantially as described.

2. A combination-tool comprising a handle having a longitudinalpassage-way and pro vided with a stepped end, a slide provided withjaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle for the purpose offorming different wrench-sockets on opposite sides, and said jawcontaining a tapered socket for small nuts, and the other jaw beingprovided with a plier-surface, and a plier-lever pivoted to the handleand cooperating with the plier-sur face for the holding of metal,substantially as described.

3. A combination tool comprising a handle having a longitudinalpassage-way and pro- Vided with a stepped end, a slide provided withjaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle for the purpose offorming diffe'rent wrench-sockets on opposite sides, and said jawcontaining a tapered socket for small nuts, and the other jaw beingprovided with a plier and cutting surface, a plier-lever pivoted to thehandle and cooperating with the plier and cutting surface for theholding and severance of metal, substantially as described.

4. A combination-tool comprising a handle having longitudinalpassage-way and provided with a stepped end, a slide provided at one endwith a jaw having its face adjacent to the ends of the handle matchingsaid end of the handle for the purpose of forming wrenchsockets, andtransversely-projecting pins secured in the handle and in the jaw forthe purpose of forming an adjustable spanner, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
